23.Let Him Fly

Lyricist:Patty Griffin
Writer(s):Patty Griffin

Aint no talkin to this man aint no pretty other side
Aint no way to understand stupid words of pride
It would take an acrobat and I already tried all that
Im gonna let him fly mmmmm

Things can move at such a pace the second hand just waved
goodbye
You know the light had left his face you can't recall just where
ar why
So there's really nothing to it I just went and cut right
through it
I said I'm gonna let him fly ooooh yeah he yeah

There's no mercy in lyin word no rest at all in freedom
Choices we are givin' it there's no choice at all uh huh
The proof is in the fire you touch before it moves away yeahhh
But you must always know how lomg to stay and when to go

And there aint no talkin to this man he's been tryin to tell me
so
It took a while to understand the beauty of just letting go
Cause it would take an acrobat and I already tried all that
I'm gonna let him fly

I'm gonna let him fly fly woooaaaaa
I'm gonna let him fly fly woooaaaaaaaa
I'm gonna let him fly
